Traditionally, you would do power, performance, area, and congestion (PPAC) analysis for a design as you move forward with different stages in the flow.

But with highly advanced technology, the real designs are getting complex and interdependent, complicating the analysis at each stage!! Hence, attaining PPAC goals can be very convoluted and crucial as the clock keeps ticking for the tapeout time. What is the challenge…

Analog Layout remains a time consuming manual task to most layout designers. For as long as integrated circuits have existed, designers have been manually placing individual transistors, drawing every shape and guard ring, and routing every wire by hand. Digital layout automation on the other hand, became almost completely automated. As early as the mid 1980’s EDA pioneers at Tangent Systems allowed digital blocks with…

CXL 3.0 is an open-standard interconnect technology that builds upon PCIe 6.0 to facilitate high-speed communication between CPUs and peripheral devices. With a doubled bandwidth of 64 GT/s and enhanced fabric capabilities, CXL 3.0 aims to optimize system-level flows, improve resource utilization, and enable new device types for composable disaggregated infrastructure.

The global chip market has seen a significant increase in demand for high-performance chips due to the rapid growth of the automotive industry. This growth is primarily driven by the adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), electric vehicles (EVs), and connected cars. These technologies require fast data processing, improved sensor fusion, and better communication capabilities to enhance vehicle performance…
